Westminstenders: Neglectful Drunkeness!

[RedToothBrush]

The HoC has spend the past 3 years in a state of Neglectful Drunkeness.

As it stands less then two weeks from Brexit Day, there is no deal we were promised. The Conservative and Labour Parties are more divided than ever.

The government is in disarray as 8 Cabinet ministers plus the chief whip voted against the Prime Minister including the Brexit Secretary who had minutes earlier argued for an extension only to vote against it. He is now on the brink of resignation.

The DUP look like they may be about to capitulate and vote for a deal. But it may not be enough even then.

This is what the cliff edge looks like.

Who wants to take a closer look?

Bloody papers!! Defiling my dear Berkow!

Oh FFS that paper is toxic.

He didn't even say no MVIII period. He gave guidance as to what should happen within the rules for it to be substantively reformulated and resubmitted.

That could even be interpreted as helping towards a Brexit that would command a majority.

Lovely Dom, as he isn't known in this household, was a bloody genius campaign manager, manager is probably a bit too beige for lovely Dom, Guru perhaps ? Nah Svengali is more like it, isn't it ?
Anyhooooo, he was absolutely fanfuckingtastic at winning the prize, the only issue is the prize is shit, proper shit, not stick it in a cupboard for six months and then sling in it the next charity bag that comes through your letterbox type shit. And I admire and despise him in equal measure as a result.

But he comes a massive so far behind you need binoculars second to the UK media who have fed the dialogue of division in the UK since June 2016. Leave/Remain , stick those people in a room, windowless, aircon on to a slightly uncomfortable level, but with complimentary tea/coffee and a decent biscuit selection, and you will discover that they all essentially want the same things, they just disagree on how to achieve it and who to blame for not getting it so far.

NEW: The Conservative Party has been forced to make yet more suspensions after another 25 self-identifying Tory members were found to have posted shocking anti-Muslim comments on Facebook

One man who posted a photo of himself campaigning for the Tory party wrote on Facebook about killing Muslims: “I was going through a few magazines the other day down at the local Mosque. I was really enjoying myself. Then the rifle jammed.”

Other shocking new Islamophobic comments by 25 people self-identifying as Tory members:
- “Tow them back out to sea, sink the boat. Simples”
- “No Muslim will get my vote”
- another shared BNP donations page “to stand against Islamification of our country”

NEW: CCHQ faces cover-up claims as it refuses to say how many of the 25 it has suspended. It will only confirm it has made suspensions today. Overall Tory Islamophobia suspensions now at 40 and rising, as the party insists it doesn’t have a racism problem

Here is @SayeedaWarsi tonight condemning CCHQ for its lack of transparency. Real questions now over the Tory party’s complaints procedure. These people are only dealt with when we put them to CCHQ, and they won’t say what action they’re taking against who.

Tory MPs are still going round saying they don’t recognise that the party has a problem with Islamophobia. Not sure how anyone can read this story and still think that...

Finally the counterbalance to Labour Party anti semitism as that hasn't been mentioned in the press for ooooh 24 hours?

Are they really going to vote for the WA after all this fuss over Bercow ?
Where are the 75 switch votes coming from ?

May was reportedly going to pull the vote before this blow up, because she was advised she'd lose again

Or is this Bercow furore just a psychological trick to get the WA votes ?
Even a fix between them ?

To my darling Berkow.
How I long to hear your dulcit tones vibrate in my ear. To feel your breathe upon my cheek, to listen to your wit infinitum, to wait with baited breathe for ' Order! Order! And when my heart misses a beat and I faint in your arms you whisper sweet points of order that calms my beating heart.....

Our 2 main parties aren't just disfunctional and incompetent
They are both racist too

Cripes, sos Take a cold shower !

@Sostenueto think you might need to get your drug dosage checked. You might be having a few milligrams too many

Didn't mean to belittle the importance of either- it's completely shocking and about time action was taken.

The thing is- UKIP will just swell instead but perhaps that's good if it dilutes votes?

sos I feel sure there must be a corner of the internet devoted to Brexit fan fiction, if not you could start one!

No fix bigchoc government were not advised about Berkows speech hence them all running in quick. He couldn't do it earlier, he had to bid his time. Wow he really is brave you know, knowing he would get such shit written about him. Here's to Berkowxx

OMG! Knew Tories were racist but OMG!

Think I might have took a swig or two out of that bottle of gin I sent dear Berkow

{I see clerc is just really reduced to basic Brit-bashing - no interest at all in the UK, already 'checked out' - just basically calling the UK stupid over and over, including the Remainers.}

I am as much a 'Brit' as most on here and have paid taxes to HMRC for over 40 years so at least 'done my bit'.
I have attempted to get any ideas about what the UK can specialise in once chunks of industry start closing down and put a couple of ideas forward but nobody seems to want to join in, particularly not 'Leavers' and pointing out that it might be a good idea to have a plan is apparently me being a bully. I fail to see why I should worry about 'Leavers' who assume that someone else will do everything for them when it goes tits up. Having to turn down work from the UK because it is becoming impractical, and not being able to offer work to colleagues as it is becoming too difficult and expensive to organise.
But hey what do I know, blue passports and all.

May ain't Happy

It’s a long time (21 years in total) since John Bercow appeared in a BBC documentary about joining the Euro presented by Ulrika Jonsson

You have to say there is something wrong with the management of this country when we are being told there will be water shortages in 25 years time.

It's not like we might have trouble being able to find some.

' The silence was deafening as the woman entered the chamber. Her legs felt like leaden weights as with hunched shoulders she shuffled slowly to the despatch box. Even the Scottish contingent were silent. Not a movement was apparent. It was the eyes that finally unnerved her. Eyes in front of her, eyes burning holes in her back, eyes to the left and right, all was upon her. The air was sucked out of the room as she breathed in to start her speech. Then the silence was shattered and 600 sets of eyes turned to the speakers chair as the speaker pointing vigorously at the despatch box shouted 'Order!Order! The eyes have it! The eyes have it!
She woke with a start, the perspiration running down her face in rivulets. She looked around wide eyed and realised it was just a nightmare......
